AI Harnesses and Hosting

This week we have an exciting conversation about harnesses, neoclouds, open weights models, and the current AI infrastructure landscape. We discuss bare metal automation, agent-friendly APIs, CPU compute, GPU economics, and why some providers are moving up the stack toward models and APIs. We also look at the harness as an execution, optimization, and governance layer, including tools, sub-agents, routing, and safety controls. The conversation covers smaller and fine-tuned models, continuous validation, model drift, governance, security, compliance, and AI sovereignty, as well as sandboxing and air-gapped execution for agentic systems.
